Written Representation 6 Name: COL (Ret) K. Kuharajahsingam Counselor Received: 17 Jan 2018 Title: Public view on fake news Dear sir/madam, While I admit that there is intended mischief in agencies creating fake news, accompanied with the potential harm that it can create, sometime is all about the level of trust that exists between government and its citizenry.
I will not be mistaken if I say that in Singapore there are concerns among the people about the transparency of government moves, eg the manner in which individuals are picked for key government roles, ex-scholars and Ministers channeled into key positions in the private sector, and even how families are feature in a single sector, eg previously the presence of Lee family members in Finance ministry, Temasek, & GIC altogether.
People of Singapore feel there is little evidence of checks and balances in the governing of Singaporeans it’s agencies; a case in hand is the retention of current SMRT CEO despite the fiascos discovered after 5 years of being at the helm.

At least in USA we can tune in into select congressional hearings when a person is appointed into a key government or quasi-government position, and people can judge for themselves if selected people are good; or even hearings when things go wrong.
People cannot help but feel that there is too much secrecy within government corridors about going ons.

Additionally people of Singapore lack sufficient information and up-to-date information with which the government makes polices, eg increasing population against our low TFRs and yet not preparing in advance the infrastructure, understanding Low TFR impact to Singapore in critical areas like defence, education infrastructure, health services, economy, taxes etc.
If Singaporeans are kept abreast with key information that shape national policy and programs, there will be lesser need for conspiracy theories and fake news when new policies and programs are rolled out, or existing ones fail.

So it’s all about building trust between government and people.

To tell people that your track record is good, and so Singaporeans have to trust the government in having our backs is simply not good enough today.

Citizens want to get involved in policy formulation.
And the more you get them in, and the more open the government is with her information, the lesser the need for fake news.

No amount of laws and regulations is going to curb fake news, until trust between people and government is sealed.

With respect, COL (Ret) K. Kuharajahsingam 1

Written Representation 25 Name: Nga Thio Ping Retiree Received: 12 Feb 2018 Dear Hon Chairman and Members of the Singapore Parliamentary Select Committee on Fake News.

Thank you for your agreeing to be members in this very important select committee.

Focused on the soliciting of considered views from the members of the public in Singapore - for very wise and careful study by the relevant officials.

Before actual crafting, passing and enforcing of very fair, just, efficient and effective laws.
Laws which support and promote the promotion of verifiable truths - over harmful unintentional or intentional part-truths/-part-untruths or, even, total lies.

Instead of less than adequate laws which evil doers' and their lawyers will be quick to very silfully exploit.
To intimidate, gag, prevent and punish those who factually know the ways of such evil doers - beneath their guise of pretending to preserve and promote peace and harmony in the very societies they want to corrupt, weaken, deceive, conquer, subjugate, oppress and damn.
Therefore, this dire need for the right laws and processes which can very swiftly, accurately, justly and effectively enable the public and the relevant agencies and authorities - to very swiftly, accurately, justly, lawfully, cost-efficiently and cost- effectively expose and defeat such evil doers and their controllers, in and outside Singapore.
Via very well thought out multiple-tier procedures and processes - for very safe, just, swift and cost-effective deterring and addressing of such evil doers, early, by the lawful authorities - with the help of the Singaporean and non-Singaporean public, again, in and outside Singapore.

Because of this bedrock realization amidst the public - that falsehoods, untruths and lies (including genuine fake news) - must only harm persons and societies that are so deceived.
I am ready and would be happy to elaborate and substantiate in person, should you require me to do so.

Thank you.

Majulah Singapura !

Yours faithfully, NGA Thio Ping 1
